“I’m really impressed with Driftmoon. Not just because it’s such an impressive indie project, but because it was a memorable RPG in its own right. A fun, light-hearted game, with a more serious story running beneath it. And once it’s over, there’s still more to do.”

The beautiful, enchanted world of Driftmoon trembles in the shadow of a forgotten evil, for the dark King Ixal is again gathering his forces.

Hope lies in an unlikely alliance: A young man joins forces with a little firefly dreaming of stardom, a panther queen with the ego of a moon whale, and a very determined fellow who's lost everything but his bones, and still hasn't given up. Knowing nothing of the amazing adventures and the fearsome foes that await them, the party embarks on a journey like no other.

Driftmoon is an adventure-roleplaying game, full of exploration, smiles and surprises, captivating stories and quests, charming characters, and countless delightful details.

A fantastic adventure, and a deep story that will put a smile on your face, and keep surprising you!

Plenty of personality, wit, humor and goodwill!

The rich, magical world is filled with captivating personalities, and zillions of things waiting to be discovered!

The game is quite nice to look at and is fairly fun to play as a rather short and very casual game. It's definitely geared toward kids and if there were no combat it would be perfect for extremely sheltered young'uns -- though maddeningly twee and boring for adults. Without combat it would be mind-numbingly dull.

Combat is very simple, you choose your weapon and click on the enemy and it auto-fights for you. It has a very basic skill tree where you are able to choose if you want to put xp points into weapons, or into passive skills or into other benefits.

There is no voice acting, but there's reams of reading between conversations you have with other characters and in books you find. If there had been voice acting I would either have been telling the screen to shut-up or skipped all dialogue options about half way through, so no voice is a positive rather than a complaint.

There are a number of different puzzles you have to solve to advance, and if you play a lot of puzzle games you would probably find them easy. If you don't, then a couple of them will be frustratingly difficult. Kids will probably need help with several of them.

Most of your time in the game is spent looking for plants to pick and objects to pick up, many of the latter are hidden under or behind furniture which you are able to drag out of the way. You can craft simple potions and a few weapons once you find or buy 'blueprints', as well as being able to buy what you need from several vendors. Overall, the game is a really good training RPG.

I have one big complaint about the game though, enough of one that I can't recommend it. The game makers want to share their love of God with you. One of the hidden books you find in the middle of the game, if you are a diligent searcher, has the entire Old Testament in it with the disclaimer that you aren't expected to read it if you don't want to but the Devs need to share their belief. After that, the amount of times your character is told to pray because of danger is infuriating. When I buy a game, especially a fantasy game, I am not paying for the Devs to evangelize at me.

Driftmoon is what you would call a simplistic RPG. It incorporates all the cliche elements such quests, leveling up and combat without the complexity. There are only a few quests available with side quests thrown in. The writing is humorous and will keep you entertained. The music isn't anything special, but doesn't hinder the game. Combat revolves around clicking on an enemy to automatically attack, which is a problem when your surrounded as you can genereally only target one enmey at once (not including area abilities as they do relatively low damage anyway).

To its credit, the simplicity allows a much more light hearted experience than other traditional RPGs and can be completed within 3 hours or more depending on whether you choose to do side quests or not.

This game does not have the most advanced graphics you've ever seen. There, I sait it, it's the only point that I could allow myself to bring on the negative side of this review.

What you will find in this game however is:

A carefully, and brillantly written story that will bring you smiles along the way.

Clever, funny and original dialogues with a great number of references towards very well known scifi/fantasy book authors and old-school games.

Original and most often - unexpected - characters.

Pretty graphics, and a top down view that made me fondly remember the goold old days of Ultima VII... but also of Baldur's Gate in terms of dialogue display (bright, and beautifully drawn character portraits)

Omnipresent, simple and clever comedy

I very highly recommend this game if you want to enjoy a LOVELY, brilliant, albeit short RPG that will make you want to reinstall these old-scool RPGs you remember from your childhood.For younger buyers, don't hesitate, this game really deserves to be played by anyone.

I really hope these guys make another game that will struck the same vibes.

I had this game in my library for ages and ages. I can't even remember when or how I got it but it always seemed to be the game I passed on as it looked boring. Finally started it over the Xmas holiday and boy I am glad I did. I went into the game not knowing to much about it, I thought I would play for 5 mins and turn it off, maybe this is what made it good as I had no expectations of it at all apart from thinking it would be bad.

The game itself has some pretty rubbish graphics, graphics do not bother me anyway but the graphics did add to the charm the game has. The music was well done and never got on my nerves, the combat in this game is pretty bad but again that also adds to the charm I think. This game really shines with the story and the character, I do not want to give away the story although it is a pretty simple story it was told really really well. The characters were all good none of them bothered me at all, the humour was also pretty spot on.

All in all I spent about 17 hours in the game, some of this time I was AFK doing stuff so I think a more realistic length if you read everything would out you around the 14/15 hour mark of total gameplay. I have roughly 600 games on Steam and I was going through a patch where all games bored me after 5-10 mins. This one had me hooked all the way through from start to finish. I have no idea why the game does not get much love unless people all thought it would be rubbish like I first did.

The game is a very simple RPG but it was a lot of fun and I am very glad I played it in the end.

Solid 7/10 is my rating and I look forward to what this Dev team does next and I will buy it without a second thought.

More than a decade ago, I briefly played Runescape. There were low-fi graphics, point-and-click pickups, skill trees that were obviously more useful than others, and tutorials of questionable utility. In many ways, Driftmoon reminds me of Runescape. The graphics are a bit better, the game tries along the way to sortof let you know how to play but not really, and some of the skills are clearly better than others. They are similar enough that I almost missed the mining bots taking up all the resources and the griefers trying to kill me every 30 seconds. Almost.

This game had a small production crew, and it shows. Having said that, this game is also gotod for what it is. The story is decent, albeit predictable. The music becomes part of the background, and while it isn't remarkable per se it at least does you the favour of not breaking your immersion. Quests are well-defined and none of them seemed to be broken. I had a couple problems with items disappearing from my inventory if I tried to move them to my hotbar, but hey.

Buy if you want to cruise through a short RPG story in a few hours. Don't buy if you're looking for a Dragon Age style hack n slash 70 hour marathon.

There are some things I like about this game - it's a fairly user-friendly explore and dungeon-crawl thing, but as I got more into it and more used to it, it really had limitations. There are only a couple dozen different loot items, a bare handful of potions you can create, you can only play as a male character, and the religious undertones get more and more annoying - it starts off as a couple of monks and quotes (mostly harmless, but then there are a few about intellect being bad and faith being good). And then you find a copy of the entire new testament of the bible under a bookshelf. Games really shouldn't be a showcase for the developers' religious inclinations. Bad move.

Additionally, there are many plagiarised quotes where the author has not been noted, as well as the entire Black Knight sketch from Monty Python, again, with no credit.

This is the type of game I have looked for...Good mix of story and exploring...I love finding chests and seeing what's in them. I find no fault with this game. Thanks for the pleasure your bringing me!

Driftmoon is a great little indie rpg. The combat is minimal and the graphics are nothing to be overly impressed with but Driftmoon shines in all the areas that truly matter. The game world is fun to explore and the side quests are interesting enough with some nice little puzzles woven in. The dialogue of Driftmoon is what really makes it stand out though, I found myself always cracking a smile when reading through it. The characters are great and each one leaves a lasting impact on the game. If you are looking for a nice little rpg Driftmoon is a great one to pick up and try. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.

I love this game with a passion! It is so well written and i had an amazing time playing through the adventure and reading the notes and books found around the game. The concept and story is so clever and the amount of work put into this game should be awarded! I strongly suggest this game to anyone!

An old style RPG that is worth a look. It has good charcterisation and quests, seems family friendly from what I have played.I give a quick overview of the game/ review here if you are intrested:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PajaF50hCng

It looks like a very simple game, but It's a lot more complex than meets the eyes. I got on to try the game and couldn't stop myself from playing. Definitely a fun game to play when you want some quiet time.

The story is linear, the graphics, sounds and music aren't all that amazing, but you can't deny this thing has real soul. The (married) couple who are the devs really put their hearts into it, and it shows.

It's pretty family friendly and naive in a cutesy way, great for a younger audience, but the humor still hits home even for an old sod like me. The story is, like I stated quite linear, and it's very derivative of other RPGs, but it's presented in a way that I can't help but enjoy every second of. Besides there are a few really original sidequests in each area that give you plenty of stuff to do (and laugh at) while you play.

One thing I dislike are the slightly preachy Christian undertones, but it doesn't stop me from greatly enjoying this little gem. Very highly recommended for the price, and with bigger mods incoming you might get even more bang for your buck.

I played this some before it came to steam and it's a pretty fun little ARPG styled game. It's not randomized, and it isn't very indepth. The Graphics are very basic, and the sound assets aren't great. That being said I do think it's a well done game, and for a forign dev they have done a good job of translating this over to english. I have to say this is probably a ten dollar title and at ten dollars it's a good game to pick up if you like this style of text narritive ARPG.

Driftmoon is, to put it plainly, too charming to resist. An extended love letter to Ultima VII and other adventure/RPGs of its era, it may not look like much, but it's a game with plenty of soul. While the plot isn't particularly amazing or original, the writing is consistently very light-hearted, genuinely funny, and manages to make even minor characters unique and memorable in just a handful of lines. It's rather short, but manages to feel like a complete, fulfilling experience all the same. Quite lovely.

Driftmoon is a pleasant indie adventure RPG with entertaining mini-puzzles and dialogue. The game itself is very short but the quality humor keeps things lively.

Here's what you should expect from the game:

- lots of collectibles that require you to be attentive- small puzzles (small in the sense that they are not too hard)- easy battles (the battle mechanics aren't very deep but there are at least 4 layers of difficulty)- rewards for exploration (doing all the side quests affects the outcome of the game)

It's a charming game and one that has character. I do recommend it if you are looking for a lightheartened experience.

So you get back from vacation to find everyone in town turned to stone including your mother. Your father has been taken by the evil King Ixal and it’s your job to save everyone. Hey why not, everyone wants to be a hero right.

Driftmoon is an action RPG somewhat like the old school classic Zelda. You return to your home to find the whole village turned to stone except for one of your friends. He tells you all what happened and that your father was taken hostage by the evil King Ixal. Your father has one of the crystals needed to raise the dead and become immortal.

Collect weapons and armor, craft items, and complete missions to help level up. Each level you get one stat point and one skill point to build your character stronger. It was pretty fun to play for a while but I grew tired over time with the mass amount of reading in the game. Enemies also became tedious in fighting since it was mostly a small variety of different types. This is understandable though as it’s not a big budget game.

Overall the game is worth checking out. The story was pretty good and had some laughs and can give you plenty of play time with the main game. There is also editing tools to make your own mods. There were a few mods out for it when I played but nothing that peeked my interest and I also did spend any time creating any because I’m just not skilled enough for that.

So, this was another in a long list of games I own that came from some bundle or another. It looked pretty cool though, so I thought I would give it a try, and I am glad that I did.It's not the sort of game that will blow your mind, but what it does, it does well, and is the true definition of a solid game. An RPG that has similarities to Zelda-esque games as far as art style and even mapping ot an extent, but without really trying to be that at all. In fact, I would say this game does a good job of establilshing its own identity, even though you will find it to be similar to other games. You are basically witnessing the developers influneces, but enjoying their own vision. The game incoporates a lot of pop culture references. The Holy Grail references will be the most identifiable, but there are plenty.The story itself is solid (pretty much the "a great evil has entered the world and you must try to save the world and everybody in it" type tale), as is the gameplay. The combat is fun and real time, there are plenty of traps and some decent puzzles. It's really a nice (pleasant even) game that does everything right and really nothing wrong, without trying to be something it's not,and manages to do all that without falling into the trap of doing more than it should. In a way, it is hard to describe this game because it is so uniformly solid, that, while not a great game, is in fact a very good game and one worthy of your attention. It took me about 9 hours to finish, and I'm not the fastes gamer I imagine you could finish it in under 4 if you really wanted to, and weren't worried about completing everything.I recommend trying it out. I think it deserves 7 out of 10, and probably 74 out of 100.
